Despite the fact that it stars Ashton Kutcher, I believe that 2004's The Butterfly Effect is an EXTREMELY underrated film. Strong story, cool premise, decent acting, good ending...and even Kutcher wasn't that bad.
Even though a decade has not yet passed, the film is about to get the reboot treatment. (Hey if Spidey can get it in five years I guess The Butterfly Effect can have nine.) News of the reboot comes via "Variety" and oddly enough, original writer Eric Bress will helm the new screenplay and possibly direct. No casting news or production start date as of yet.
While the original film did make money it was a bomb with critics and spawned two awful direct-to-DVD sequels. The whole idea of rebooting this film seems pointless to me. In fact so pointless I can't really sum up a more cogent argument other than that.
Ashton Kutcher can next be seen playing Steve Jobs in the unsurprisingly titled film Jobs.
